That's right! Four elephants and their mahouts, also wearing Santa hats, joined the Christmas celebrations at the Jirasartwitthaya school in Ayutthaya.
"The highlight is not only handing out presents but also students and elephants forming a Christmas tree together," said Lardthongtare Meepan, owner of the Ayuttahaya Elephant camp.
The elephants also danced and entertained students with their tricks.
